The fully electric Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe sparked a wave of criticism after its official presentation. Social media users and fans of the brand criticized the newcomer for changing the model’s concept and abandoning the traditional V8 engine.
The new version of the car received a fully electric powertrain. Mercedes-AMG is betting on high power, modern technologies and sustainability. However, many fans reacted negatively to the change.
The main complaint is linked to the absence of the distinctive AMG engine sound. For many sports car owners, the emotional aspect remains just as important as technical specifications.
Despite the criticism, the manufacturer emphasized that the EV delivers impressive performance figures. The model is expected to compete with Tesla, the Porsche Taycan and other high-performance electric sedans.
After the first photos and specifications were published, hundreds of comments appeared on social media. Some users claimed that the new AMG lost the “character” of classic sports models. Others, on the contrary, consider the transition to EVs an inevitable step in the industry’s development.
Experts say that such a reaction is common in the automotive market. Almost every manufacturer that moves sports models to EV platforms faces resistance from its audience. However, interest in EVs continues to grow, especially in the premium segment.
